Changing light cycle on autos

GrowCam247started grow question 2 years ago

Alright, I got a newbie question that Im sure someone here can help with. I started my grow with 24hr lights. Now Im kinda thinking it would have been better to go with 18-6 or 20-4. Since these are Autos, I was wondering if it will stress out my plants if I change it up? Thx.

GrowCam, so basically less light means less light stress. switching down always makes less light stress. so you're okay doing it, in fact you probably should, especially during flowering. afterall terpenes and THC degrade in light , so less light means more potent and tasty product actually. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Seedlings struggling This is day 10 since they popped out and it just seems as if my seedlings are stunted. I kept an 85w CFL about 10cm from their tops for the first week and then raised it up to about 15cm for the next few days. They had humidity domes. Temp was 20°C-24 in day
